What Is Truth? - What Hath The LORD Answered Thee, What
Hath The LORD Spoken Unto Thee?

"Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou a king then?
JESUS answered, Thou sayest that I am a king, To this end was I born, and for this cause came
I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of
the truth heareth My Voice. [!] Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth?" John
18:37-38

.
The principal subjects of consideration within What Is Truth? will
be the errors and wrongs which are prominent and even pervasive within Catholicism and the Roman Catholic
Church, and ruinous to those therein.

. But before proceeding,
I believe mention should be made
of a good and courageous man who has recently passed on from this life. John
"Cardinal" O'Connor stood faithfully against the evils of induced abortion and
sodomy. He contended against forces of evil which sought to force their evil agendas (which were and
are in fact tentacles of one evil satanic agenda) upon the people of this nation,
and especially targeted the young, tender, and impressionable for destruction. Though he was
relentlessly, viciously attacked by a concerted front of evil, he never wavered in
his devotion to his God-given duty to protect his flock from these damnable evils.
He was loved by those whom he served. He was hated and feared by those he
defended against. He suffered much for his faithfulness. He will be missed as
the battles rage on. He was among the very best of those who have led the Catholic
Church. He would have been the most outstanding possible instrument to
lead the
Catholic Church in time to come, but sadly he is gone from this earthly
battleground, where he fought long, hard, and valiantly for the right. Men
of his measure come by only rarely, and speaking of men of his stature, Martin
Luther's legacy of striving to right the myriad and ruinous wrongs of the Roman
Catholic church's hierarchy remains to this day, Martin
Luther & the Reformation.

.
The question addressed herein is not whether some or many Roman Catholic
people are seeking to do right (many are, as evidenced on September 11, 2001, by
the selflessly sacrificial exploits of many hundreds of New York City Firemen
and Policemen, the majority [seemingly the overwhelming majority] of whom were Roman Catholic, and so
many hundreds of whom tragically died as a result of unflinchingly jeopardizing their lives to
save the lives of others). Nor is the question whether some or many Roman Catholic people
have sought to do, and have done, far more righteously during the past few
decades in
the USA concerning opposing and countering the monstrous evils of induced abortion, and the
connected evils of infanticide, 'fetal harvesting' & 'fetal experimentation,'
'embryological research,' cloning, euthanasia/'mercy killing,' 'birth control,' the overwhelming
majority of what is euphemistically referred to as 'family planning,' and the catalytic
Trojan horse 'sex education,' i.e., the coldly calculated sexual indoctrination,
enticement, corruption, seduction, perversion, and destruction of the young (many Roman Catholics
have and do). Nor is the question whether many Roman Catholic people
have led the way in evidencing sacrificial love in seeking to care for unwed
mothers and their babies, prior to the babies' births, and following their births, than the majority of
people referred to as protestant, evangelical, charismatic, or pentecostal have (again,
many Roman Catholics have and do). Indeed it is difficult to imagine a 'pro-life' movement
without the dominant Roman Catholic presence, i.e., Nellie Gray's March for Life, National
Right to Life, Judy Brown's American Life League, Human Life International, even Phyllis
Schlafly's Eagle Forum, Operation Rescue [inspired by the enormous self-sacrifice(s) of
heroine Joan Andrews Bell], and Priests for Life...the Roman Catholic influence in the
'Crisis' Pregnancy Center and adoption movements or ministries, though less dominant has
nonetheless led the way and continues to be vitally involved, e.g., via Birthright, National Life Center,
1st Way, and White Rose...among others.

The question addressed herein is whether extremely prominent
teachings, beliefs, and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church are Biblical, are true, are
of GOD, or whether they are of man at the best, or authored and masterminded by Satan, the
enemy of our souls, the enemy of GOD, at the worst; additionally, whether these teachings
are used to destroy those whom CHRIST came to save. These questions are of the gravest
importance, at all times, but most especially at this time in human history, as The
Anti-Christ and The Great Tribulation draw nigh at hand! And though this
examination will likely and regrettably offend many good people, nonetheless, it must be
engaged, as lives and eternities are weightier, more costly and precious than feelings,
reputations, man-made traditions, and pride, even of good people.

Again the basis of this discussion will be whether certain teachings,
communications, and beliefs, propounded as being sacred, holy, authoritatively from GOD,
are in fact in keeping with the Holy Bible and the true Gospel of JESUS CHRIST;
whether they are in
agreement with the same, are supported by the same, or whether they are contrary to the
Scriptures, contrary to the true Gospel of JESUS CHRIST, being repudiated by the
Scriptures rather than reinforced, and are seen to be diametrically contrary to,
at odds
with, and warring against the truth of GOD.

As for those who insist that there is 'other proof' which must be
viewed in order to validate the teachings, beliefs, and doctrines in question, and their
underlying premise(s); let it be said that:

Their is no Scripture to validate
the fallacious claim that 'other proof' is to be resorted to in the absence of Scriptural
proof, or when teachings are in conflict with Scripture (indeed 'other proofs'
are resorted to deliberately to undermine, thwart, and veto God's Word!);

The Holy Bible scriptures are the only
sure basis (according to no less an authority than JESUS CHRIST), being authored by the
Spirit of GOD;

Additionally, any genuine revelation or prophecy must concur with the
Holy Bible scriptures to be authenticated as being of GOD;

Furthermore, conflict with, and
contradiction of, the Scriptures and the GOSPEL is proof of error, heresy...;

What is
more, the cults (definitely including Islam) rely incessantly and indispensably upon
'validation' from 'other sources' and documents (of their authoring), the true
GOSPEL does not!;

And finally, whatever cannot be proven from GOD's revealed Word,
The Holy Bible, and yet claims to be spiritually true, is proven to be spiritually false!

Some people incorrectly believe Roman Catholicism is like the cults,
these people are very seriously mistaken.

The Cults (definitely including
Islam) are the wicked inventions of
Satan, which were founded on lies, dedicated to the undermining, and undoing, of the
finished work of JESUS CHRIST. They depend upon plagiarizing the WORD of GOD to give
themselves some semblance of credibility and respectability; they rely on 'creatively'
editing GOD's
WORD to suit their wicked intentions, perverting it to serve Satan in attempting to
destroy those whom CHRIST came to save.

Catholicism however began with the truth; Catholicism
was
founded on the truth of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ. The question is how much of the truth remains and how much of what
is taught, espoused, and communicated by the Catholic Churches generally, and by the Roman
Catholic Church specifically, instead of being from GOD, is contrary to the Gospel of
JESUS CHRIST, and is in fact warring against the finished work of JESUS CHRIST, due to the
accomplishment of what CHRIST JESUS, Peter, John, Paul, and Jude...warned of repeatedly and
gravely, i.e., the flock being infiltrated, corrupted, and even overrun by wolves in sheep's clothing, false
prophets, reprobate priests, hirelings, and enemies of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST?!!

This examination is
not principally concerned with the wood, hay, stubble, and even dung which men have piled
upon the true foundation of JESUS CHRIST ('benignly' harmful to the purposes of GOD,
though they are), but is chiefly concerned with 'additions' to, 'changes' to, and deletions
from, the true Gospel, which are of a more decidedly malignant nature (though both types
will be examined, as both types are dangerously harmful, and yes both can kill, i.e.,
numbers of people do die every day as
a result of "benign" conditions!).

. As with all of CBM's communications the answer(s) may be one(s) you and others would
rather not know, but which demand to be told, which must be made known for the sake of
those whom CHRIST came and suffered to save (such as you and your family and
loved ones!).

You may feel free to copy and redistribute the
text of CBM's theses and treatises, enclosed herein, freely, if you care
to (so long as you
do so freely, i.e., do not charge for them [can you imagine trying to charge for
them?]), and speaking of theses & treatises, you will find a sample of the
legacy of God's work done through yielded servants at Martin
Luther & the Reformation.
